Krzysztof Kiryluk, MD
Overview
Dr. Krzysztof Kiryluk is a physician-scientist in the Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine at Columbia University. He received his medical degree at the Columbia College of Physicians & Surgeons, completed his residency in Internal Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard University, and Nephrology fellowship at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia University. Dr. Kiryluk specializes in the treatment of chronic kidney disease, glomerulonephritis, and inherited kidney disorders.
Dr. Kiryluk holds the Herbert Irving Assistant Professorship at Columbia University. His research aims to define genetic factors contributing to the risk of kidney disease. Dr. Kiryluk leads several large collaborative national and international genetic studies of glomerular disorders. He has authored multiple publications and is an active member of the American Society of Human Genetics, American Society of Nephrology, and International Society of Nephrology. He is a recipient of several prestigious fellowship awards, including the Carl W. Gottschalk Research Scholar Award from the American Society of Nephrology and the Daland Fellowship from the American Philosphical Society. Dr. Kiryluk's research has been supported by federal grants from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, and private foundations.

Research
Our studies aim at discovery of genes and pathways involved in the pathogenesis of kidney disease. We focus on the genetic architecture of glomerular disorders, including IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, C3 glomerulopathy, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. We are also interested in human population genetics and the effects of ancestral backgroud on the risk of kidney disease among diverse populations worldwide. Our lab works on the mapping of common genetic variation predisposing to kidney injury in general population, as well as the identification of causal mutations in rare forms of familial kidney disorders. We use state-of-the-art genetic approaches and novel statistical and computational methods, including genome-wide association mapping, analysis of human copy number variation, linkage mapping, genome sequencing, construction of transcriptional gene regulatory networks, and the generation of animal models to study the consequences of pathogenic mutations. Through our work, we aim to improve the existing diagnostic tools, personalize and refine disease treatments, and lay the basis for development of novel effective therapies.
